That is Haworthia, and on a plant that young a flower spike can indicate stress. They prefer slightly more water than Aloes will, and will enjoy full sun. I see signs that it may not receive as much light as it prefers. This will not kill the plant, but it will stress it out, producing what you see now.

I would cut it off to reduce stress to the plant. Repot into a slightly larger container with cactus soil and keep it slightly moist but not wet. It will tolerate dry periods, but prefers moisture.
